Tension Lyrics
[Intro]
Rah, it’s BKay, unah?

[Verse 1]
Backstreets, gotta move lowkey cah one wrong move and I might get done
Before I thought about goin’ in jewellers, stupid, I thought about buyin’ a gun
Got one on my left and she brown like Henny, the one on my right is white like Rum
I’m tellin’ my bro “Don’t quit, put in the work and your time will come”
They’re lying on us, we ain’t from the road, apparently we ain’t on nun
Can’t style on us, I don’t need no Roley, I’m still gon’ buss
My old man told me “Quiet your noise, you don’t gotta kick up a fuss”
Trigger finger, click it and buss, dinger whip with the stiffest clutch
[Chorus]
Bando, kway, no reception, bad B stressed, I don’t show her attention
We don’t ever go to no restaurants, cinema date, she don’t know that tension
I’m in the deep end, no lengthen, gimme that real deepthroat, no Lemsip, huh
Tempted, tempted, who’s got a mash? New plate, cah the dots too vintage
Bando, kway, no reception, bad B stressed, I don’t show her attention
We don’t ever go to no restaurants, cinema date, she don’t know that tension
I’m in the deep end, no lengthen, gimme that real deepthroat, no Lemsip, huh
Tempted, tempted, who’s got a mash? New plate, cah the dots too vintage

[Verse 2]
Wadz went half on my studio time, them times, all I had was a ten sheet
They showed me love when my belly was empty, bare red eye, now they jelly, they envy
Envy, pree my Givenchy, they didn’t think that I had it in me
Harry wan’ pin up Pinero, I gave him a chunk of the dark, no filly
Just left, she sent me a text, she miss me already, babe, don’t be silly
My baby think that she know everything so I don’t need Siri
As a pickney, I didn’t watch Disney channel, my telly didn’t have that many
Somedays, dinner, Nutella and bread, nowadays, it’s tagliatelle

[Chorus]
Bando, kway, no reception, bad B stressed, I don’t show her attention
We don’t ever go to no restaurants, cinema date, she don’t know that tension
I’m in the deep end, no lengthen, gimme that real deepthroat, no Lemsip, huh
Tempted, tempted, who’s got a mash? New plate, cah the dots too vintage
Bando, kway, no reception, bad B stressed, I don’t show her attention
We don’t ever go to no restaurants, cinema date, she don’t know that tension
I’m in the deep end, no lengthen, gimme that real deepthroat, no Lemsip, huh
Tempted, tempted, who’s got a mash? New plate, cah the dots too vintage

[Verse 3]
Bro had to fling on a tracky, couldn’t disguise this ting in his slim fits
Big ZK on his waist, now he’s limping, stay with my darg, my darg like Tintin
Come up off hard cocaine, not pimping
Bad B nearly had man simping
Lost my mind like what was I thinking?
Way too wet, nearly had man sinking
Came home, OT, I was stinking
After my shower, I’m back in a dusty trap
Felt sorry for boss when I bumped that cab, but I got no choice, I’m sorry, my bad
One day I’ll pay mumsie back for the times that I had my fam going mad
Tell the council that we don’t need that flat, they can take that back, got the brand new gaff

[Chorus]
Bando, kway, no reception, bad B stressed, I don’t show her attention
We don’t ever go to no restaurants, cinema date, she don’t know that tension
I’m in the deep end, no lengthen, gimme that real deepthroat, no Lemsip, huh
Tempted, tempted, who’s got a mash? New plate, cah the dots too vintage

[Outro]
Rah, it’s BKay, you know?
Bando, kway, no reception, bad B stressed, I don’t show her attention
We don’t ever go to no restaurants, cinema date, she don’t know that tension
I’m in the deep end, no lengthen, gimme that real deepthroat, no Lemsip, huh
Tempted, tempted, who’s got a mash? New plate, cah the dots too vintage
